About 1 Freizingham Lane Cottages

It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 780 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
